Mt.McKinley is no more

[Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost]

I'm kinda surprised anyone got it...

I listened to it a little too often back in the day, because I used to know it by heart.  Ha de ya de ya, ha de ya de yada!

[qaddisin]

Fuck you, queer.

Go give your wife another black eye to match the one you gave her yesterday for not listening, re-run.

I would bitch because a President cannot issue a "congressional order," as you call them ("congressional" means Congress.) And should be limited to his use of Executive Orders, and other Presidential powers; whether it is Bush or Obama- no President should be able to order people to eat ice cream or order a business to provide ice cream to people for free.
ps: as I mentioned before, the mountain was in Denali park and the locals and State called the mountain Denali and wanted to it to be called that. It should be a local/State issue what they call things so I have no problem with it being called "Denali," just the method by which the name was changed.

Though there is no specific mention in the Constitution of 'executive orders'  there are provisions in it that have generally been argued as allowing them in specific cases.  George Washington issued 8 'executive orders' though they  weren't officially labeled as such until later.

Yeah. And, like government in general gets larger and larger, over the course of years more and more are being used as, like government in general, the past precedence and use are used to justify current, and future, usage. Just the Court(s) has created, it could be argued, and continued, to expand its own jurisdiction. Congress, the people, the States, are almost irrelevant in that the President, or some executive agency, or a Judge (or group of Justices) can often simply over-ride, reinterpret, Executive Order, regulatory finding, Presidential Proclamation, etc of their laws, wishes, referendums, public opinion, State or local laws, etc

ps: if anyone is interested: the Pacificus (Hamilton)-Helvidius (Madison) Debates are an interesting read. We've been arguing, even fighting, about these issues since the Foundation of the Republic (and during the formation of it.) Here is one archive here:

Only scumbags like you and nitwit would ever even think about striking a woman.

[Yorkshire pud]

Only a scumbag like you and nitwit would ever even suggest striking a woman.

Of course; you just hate them for having a vagina. Don't tell me you've gone all soft and have started to think that women have a better purpose than just being used in a pejorative way to use for men you disagree with? Naaa, can't have.

[136 or 142]

Hah, I have no doubt you would think about it if you actually had the ability to think.

OK, re-run, whatever you say <wink><wink>. I'm sure your wife just fell down the stairs while she was choking on some pretzels.

My smacking your wife on her sweet,  sweet ass after having a go isn't  " striking a woman".

Of course, I understand how you would be confused there, Mary.

[NowhereInTime]

Fuck you queer.

I bet you like to fuck a lot of them queer, missy. Then go home and cry in your closet while you try to hide your shame.

Reminds me of that old Russian saying: 'Beat your wife once a day, if you don't know why, she will.' (Before you say not a joke, or funny, I'm sure that's apocryphal but it was told to me by a Russian girl when she was saying other Russian superstitions and sayings. I forget others:
-if a bottle of vodka is opened it must be finished.
-if you leave your house and forget something and need to return you must sit down, grab your item, and then leave (though I also recall something about sitting on suitcases before traveling and something about mirrors, so might have been mixed up here on this one.)

One Russian said to me "my father always told me we are not so rich as to be able to afford cheap things". Didn't make sense until she told me that's why she bought expensive items. The ethic of owning quality and caring for it rather than having a disposable or "on-demand" mentality toward possessions saved money in the long run while allowing for some luxury.

Good advice, different than the ones I mentioned. Hahaha. Unfortunately the system we have created makes it harder to do. I'm not even talking expensive items, but just simple or quality. An example. I wanted a new lantern battery. I have old battery (and some newer LED) lanterns etc in truck, boat, shed, closet, etc and periodically need a new battery. Oddly enough it is more expensive to buy a replace battery than it is to buy a combo lantern/battery. How is this possible? It is not like replacing a battery in a lantern is a hard/complicated process. How can a business support that model? And it appears the same "brand" battery even? I cannot process this logically and it has been bugging me for years. So now I have a glut of lanterns in the garage because I bought them for the accompanied batteries.

My dad told me the same thing which he apparently got from his mother.  I believe that is actually an old Yiddish expression.

This is way off topic, but then I think the original topic has been mined more than Mt. McKinley Denali. 

Apparently finding quality appliances isn't so easy anymore:

Listen, Kanye nitwit (my new name for you), you couldn't get a woman as sweet and as beautiful as my wife to get near you even if you had Bill Gates' money, but I receive enormous quantities of joy knowing that she is making you seethe with bitter envy.

Pursing his lips to blow it up would only remind him of all those truckers he loved and lost so long ago.

That's so sad

[SredniVashtar]

That's so sad

So go easy on him in future, will ya? All that romantic disappointment has affected his outlook and he doesn't really mean it. He might pretend to be a homophobic, gun-obsessed, racist asshole, but the truth is that he lives in celibate seclusion with his spaniel, Lionel, and his pottery collection. Although occasionally tormented by longings for a trucker called Big Dave, who once came over his glasses at a rest stop just outside Des Moines.

I like the name "Denali."  CRKT has made a series of knives named after mountains (the summit series) and the biggest was called the Denali.  but I've had this knife for years so it's kinda cool they took the mountains original name for the knife.  I've had about 4 of them total.  my most recent I had given to my father and inherited it back when he died.  I use it every day.

The blow up doll dumped him. Although it was because he wouldn't wash her out, her nose was running.

Bitch, please.  You would pay to have a "queer...stalk your post"

So you have some remorse, then?

Listen, Kanye nitwit (my new name for you),

Normally, at best, you suck.  This is weak even by your piss-poor standards.

... you couldn't get a woman as sweet and as beautiful as my wife to get near you even if you had Bill Gates' money,

Don't need the money - she needs it so bad from me the only thing I have to pay for is the clean up afterward.

...but I receive enormous quantities of joy cock in my ass!

Fixed it for ya!

...knowing that she is making you seethe with bitter envy.

The only thing she's making me is dehydrated.  You're welcome.

You're a real tough guy from behind your keyboard, aren't ya, scumbag? All you are proving is what a piece of shit you are, as if everyone didn't already know...

Someone on this forum says you are the next Matthew Shepard -- I'm starting to believe he is right!

[Quick Karl]

I found a photo of Kanye-nitwit's love interest -- someone he describes as "captivating" (something I cannot comprehend a normal male ever saying about another male) in a previously deleted thread...



I wonder - do ya think Kanye-nitwit fantasizes about being the catcher or the batter? Yeah - he wants to be the catcher...

Careful ya don't "pee yourself" now, girl!
